Could Cause Problems

I believe the genetic engineering of babies should be banned. I think if this is allowed it will only be accessible to the wealthy. They will create a race of superior human beings will grow up and try to take power from those who are now in poverty. It's going to turn into a big mess that we won't be able to stop or control. Why let that happen?

For once I agree with the conservative side

I've always been reading up on the new tech and science and finding out just how precious our culture was until the interference of the level of science and tech we will be getting.

I don't want to forget the old world, the new one is not promising whatsoever our emotions will be dictated and there would be no reason to even have them or even be alive once that age comes. Love will only be found in a disc drive.

Genetic engineering of babies is wrong

I think that having babies should be a natural thing and not something genetically enhanced by people who want to manipulate how a baby comes out. I think it is morally wrong and could end up having a major affect on the baby in the future if there are any health implications.

Genetic engineering of babies should be banned.

The genetic engineering of babies should not be tolerated because it is unnatural. Although some genetic treatments might be acceptable if they can help cure disease, people should not be allowed to play god with human life. Genetic modification would allow sexism and racism, and therefore it would be unethical.

Perfection of mankind

By allowing genetic engineering, we are giving a chance for humans to evolve artificially and quickly. We are giving the chance for us to live in a world free of worry, dread and sadness. Genetic engineering will prevent hereditary diseases from spreading and may cure Down syndrome. We are giving the chance for the future generation to be born 'perfectly', as we can choose what features they will possess and how they will behave. We are decreasing the chance of abortions as if a parent is able to choose and design it's child, they will no longer want to get rid of their creation. We are giving mankind, the chance to become perfect and to ensure the survival of our species forever.

Why give them diseases?

No, genetic engineering of babies should not be banned, because there is no reason that a child should have a disease if it can be prevented with some genetic engineering. We can make children healthier and stronger. We can make it so that no child has to be born with a predisposition to cancer. Why wouldn't we?

There are many benefits toward the genetic engineering of babies.

Genetic engineering should NOT be banned but at the same time, it should only go to a certain extent. Some might say that should be from and ethical standpoint but by looking at that point of view, science would never have made any progress. Therefore, genetic engineering should not be banned, but it should only continue to a certain extent.

Why not save them

If we were the genetically engineer babies we may not need to school them as long. They may not get as many diseases. They might live longer and remain fit longer and none of these things are bad. All the good that could be done greatly outweighs the bad in numerous ways.

To help many lives

Nature gave us a good things sorted through natural selection but today human have ethic to keep every human alive that means including those with genetic disease and dangerous disorder then human will grow weaker and rely on those technologies to support us we need to grow ultimately above natural selection and that's not true we aren't robot but we'll need to compete with robot when they can improve themselves they'll render us useless and try to find a way to destroy us or at least get rid of us so why not? Ok they may say it'll have an irreversible effects but the parents do everything to his/her baby with love he/she want to make he/she the best and they don't need to if they don't want and those who don't want their babies infected with those genes just don't have baby with that person
